Chu Xingyun's plan
During this period of time, the Shui Family's luck was not too good, becoming a laughingstock twice.
The first time was at the West Wind Auction House.
Shui Qianyue wanted to recruit Chu Xingyun as a guest of the Shui Family, but was ridiculed by Chu Xingyun instead. Not only did she lose face, but she also brought shame to the entire Shui Family.
Only a few days had passed since this incident.
Tonight, Qin Yuyan announced in public that Hundred Treasures Building would sever all cooperation with the Shui Family without any reason.
This not only brought shame to the Shui Family, but also caused the Shui Family to suffer heavy losses!
But all of this, as the initiator, Chu Xingyun was completely unaware. Even if he knew, he would not take it to heart.
After he returned to Chu Town, he rushed into his room and entered the Reincarnation Stone.
"This Qin Yuyan is really not simple. In just a few days, she guessed that my purpose was not to mine the spiritual resources of Feng Qi Mountain." Chu Xingyun sat down cross-legged. Thinking of Qin Yuyan's probing tonight, he felt more and more interested.
From the beginning, he proposed to cooperate with Hundred Treasures Building to mine the spiritual resources of Feng Qi Mountain together. It was just a pretense.
But Chu Xingyun had never told anyone about this. Even Shui Liu Xiang and Tiger Chu were completely unaware.
But he did not expect that this Qin Yuyan saw through it at a glance. She even probed many times, trying to get information from Chu Xingyun.
According to Chu Xingyun's estimation, Qin Yuyan would definitely not let it go. She would secretly send people to investigate Feng Qi Mountain.
However, Chu Xingyun did not care about this, and was not worried that Qin Yuyan could find out anything.
The reason was very simple. Because Chu Xingyun's purpose was not Feng Qi Mountain, but the Hidden Dragon Peak beside Feng Qi Mountain.
The Hidden Dragon Peak was a lone peak. The mountain was not high, only a thousand meters.
Unlike the lush vitality of the Phoenix's Nest Mountain, it was not an exaggeration to say that the Hidden Dragon Peak was barren. The entire peak was bare, very desolate, and few people came here.
However, it was precisely in such a desolate mountain that an expert's abode was hidden!
In his last life, after Chu Xingyun gained strength, in order to investigate the whereabouts of his parents, he returned to West Wind City.
It was also at that time that he accidentally discovered the secret of the Hidden Dragon Peak.
At that time, after Chu Xingyun entered the cave, he found that the entire cave was in a sealed state. It had probably not been opened for nearly a hundred years. In a secret room, he also found a pile of ashes.
According to Chu Xingyun's judgment, these ashes … most likely belonged to the owner of the cave.
The path of martial arts was not only fraught with difficulties, but one would also encounter many bottlenecks.
Many experts would choose to go into seclusion in order to break through the bottleneck. They would either comprehend the Dao overnight and step into a whole new realm, or they would be trapped by the bottleneck and never be able to take half a step forward.
The owner of the cave most likely belonged to the latter. Because he was unable to break through the bottleneck, he went mad and eventually died in the secret room.
Because he was in seclusion, everything in the cave was well preserved. Not only were there many cultivation techniques and martial arts, even spirit stones and spiritual materials were not a small number. The collection was particularly rich.
But these, Chu Xingyun did not lack, nor did he care for them. What he wanted was the Sky Slashing Sword.
The Sky Slashing Sword was the sword that the owner of the cave carried with him. It was classified as a low-level magical weapon. Not to mention the sharpness of the sword, it could also release a Sky Slashing Wind Blade, catching others off guard.
West Wind City did not have a sword of this level. Even in the surrounding thirteen cities, it was difficult to find one. Only the Imperial City or the five great Martial Houses could possess such a sword.
If Chu Xingyun could get his hands on the Sky Slashing Sword, it would greatly improve his strength.
"I have already secretly sealed the Hidden Dragon Peak under the excuse of mining spiritual materials. Unauthorized people can't enter at all. In this way, it will be extremely convenient for me to sneak into the cave of an expert." Chu Xingyun secretly thought. He already had a plan in his mind.
Chu Xingyun had already thought of this plan before he cooperated with the Hundred Treasures Building.
Now, every step was in his plan. No one was aware of it. Even Qin Yuyan could not detect any clues.
"Although the owner of the cave is dead, the entire cave is in a sealed state. With my current strength, it is still difficult to completely open the cave."
Back then, Chu Xingyun had absolute strength. It was naturally not difficult to open a cave of an expert.
Currently, he was only at the Fourth Sky of Body Tempering Realm. It was impossible for him to reach the same level as he did in his previous life. Therefore, Chu Xingyun bought the Inkspirit Cauldron to refine pills himself to improve his cultivation.
After all, as an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, he was far better than Qin Yuyan in terms of alchemy techniques and pill recipes. Even if his cultivation was not good enough, any pill he could refine would be several times better than Qin Yuyan's.
"During this time, I will cultivate in seclusion and try my best to improve my cultivation. It is also a good opportunity to wear down Qin Yuyan's patience."
Since Qin Yuyan wanted to investigate, Chu Xingyun simply let her do it. After a long time, she would begin to doubt his judgment and finally leave it unsettled.
Thinking of this, Chu Xingyun took out the huge emerald stone.
Under the glimmer, this emerald stone refracted a dark green light, looking a bit dazzling. Other than that, there was nothing unusual about it. It was no different from an ordinary jade stone.
Chu Xingyun found a heavy iron hammer, held it with both hands, and then swung it high.
Boom!
This hammer almost exhausted all of Chu Xingyun's strength.
The metal hammer heavily smashed onto the green jade stone. Dense cracks immediately spread out on the solid stone surface, and a thread of faintly discernible faint purple glow escaped from within.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun's face was filled with ecstasy. He once again swung the iron hammer, and bombarded it tirelessly.
After swinging the hammer for an unknown number of times, the entire green stone finally shattered with a loud bang. Pieces of broken stone exploded, and many of them were even smashed into powder.
Chu Xingyun did not pay attention to these broken stones, and carefully scanned the ground. Finally, he found a purple jade stone the size of a fingernail in a pile of broken stones.
This purple jade stone was quite strange. Its texture was very soft, and it also emitted a faint fragrance.
"It really is the Poison Soul Incense!" Chu Xingyun's eyes lit up. He immediately prepared a jade bottle and carefully put the purple jade stone into it.
The so-called Poison Soul Incense was a kind of extremely rare jade stone.
This kind of jade stone could not be used to refine, nor could it be used to forge. This was because this kind of jade stone would immediately turn into gas when burned slightly, and the gas was accompanied by an extremely terrifying poison.
It was almost useless for ordinary people to obtain this kind of jade stone, and they would even lose their lives in vain.
